About This Adventure
Immerse your children in the wonders of nature with our bird of prey programs, designed to foster a love for wildlife and combat the trend of indoor play. These engaging experiences promote healthier, happier, and smarter kids, reconnecting them with the natural world for a memorable adventure.
Engaging with nature has the power to make children healthier, happier and smarter. But over recent generations, childhood activities have moved mainly indoors, leaving kids disconnected from the natural world. The worldwide trend where screen time has replaced outside play time has profound negative implications for our children’s healthy mental and physical development—and the future of our planet. Our bird of prey programs are the perfect way to get children engaged and kindle a love for all things wild.
